How Can severe Constipation be Treated?
My 28 year old daughter was severely constipated. No bowel movement for 8 days. I told her to drink a large glass of prune juice ... Maybe 8 ounces. Several hours later no results. So I told her to drink another glass. She has had major diarrhea for several hours. Not so worried about that. That is what we wanted. I told her to drink water so she would not dehydrate. She drank a 20 ounce glass of water and has thrown up twice. Is this a normal result or do I need to take her to the ER?
